A mortal shell in cinders
& wicked compulsion
simpering love lost in the ashes
charred silken seduction
giving in to the void on a whim?
Enter a swarthy no man’s land
& the space between us
seems so small
the furious conflict
& desperate need
For the dangerous infatuation
between gods and men

Incredibly vivid writing, especially
‘simpering love lost in the ashes
charred silken seduction’ – Beautiful stark imagery!
P.S. do you prefer to be called by LM or another pen-name instead?
